My Prayer for You

My sister sent this to me recently as something she read that she was praying for me. It is easy for me to loose sight of the big picture sometimes. The everydayness of getting things done, fixing stuff that breaks, trying to learn language, figuring out which way I want to go at the Bazar… things that are nothing in comparison to eternity and yet they are more present in my heart and mind most days then the stuff that really matters. I just needed to be reminded, maybe you do too.

The world no longer rules your heart. You are no longer seduced by getting and gaining but devoted to spreading and proclaiming the glory of God in the nations. You live as a pilgrim, unattached to the cares of this world. You are not afraid of loss. You even dare to believe you may be given the privilege of dying to spread His fame on the earth. The Father's passions have become your passions. You find your satisfaction and significance in Him. You believe He is with you always, to the end of life itself. You are sold out to God, and you live for the Lamb. Satan fears you, and the angels applaud you. Your greatest dream is that His Name will be praised in languages never before heard in heaven. Your reward is the look of pure delight you anticipate seeing in His eyes when you lay at His feet the just reward of His suffering: the worship of the redeemed.
